10 years after the Colectiv club fire, as a symbol of resilience in the face of suffering caused by corruption, Andrei Găluț, lead singer of Goodbye to Gravity, together with 10 survivor-musicians, is releasing The Memento Project, a charitable effort dedicated to honoring the victims of the tragedies that have marked Romania over the last decade.
It consists of new acoustic, re-orchestrated recordings of two of Goodbye to Gravity’s emblematic songs, The Day We Die and The Cage, presented as a studio-session video. The Memento Project is not only a musical endeavor. It’s a testimony to the endurance of people—and of art—in the face of the worst circumstances that a corrupt system can create.
All funds raised from promoting the video and the songs will be donated to the “În numele lui Alexandru” (In the Name of Alexandru) Association, founded by Narcis Hogea, the father of Alexandru Hogea, who died as a result of nosocomial infections contracted in the Romanian hospitals. He was only 19 years old. The NGO offers support to burn victims and their families. Those who wish to donate directly can do so via IBAN, by directing 3.5% of their income tax or 20% of their company’s profit tax. All details are available at www.innumeleluialexandru.ro/doneaza/
The day we give in is the day we die
